Aussie Sharks go down fighting against defending Champions Serbia
Published Fri 30 Jul 2021
Defending Olympic champions Serbia proved too strong for the Australian men's water polo team in game three of the pool stages, the Aussies going down 8-14.
Despite the Aussie Sharks strong comeback in the second half, out-scoring the opposition 7-4, they left their surge too late and weren't able to close the gap.
Triple Olympian and Captain Aaron Younger said while tonight wasn't their night, they won't be dwelling on the loss as there is still a job to be done.
"Obviously not what we wanted coming into the first half, a terrible start in every facet," said Younger.
"The second half, we definitely lifted our heads and changed our game. But we'll have to go through it. Spain is a very different team to Serbia. So we'll be evaluating and preparing for the game a bit differently.
